[Archive] Problem running server backup copy (Ubuntu)
Original source
Hi again folks,
So here's the scenario. I run my server on Ubuntu using Wine. It's has been and "is" running beautifully, every bit as stable as it used to in Windows.
So, to do some testing and play with updating to newer repacks, I made a copy of my repack server (Release and _Server).
I Moved the copy to a new directory for testing. Now when I run the copy version, I get this error. That directory doesn't even exist, so I'm at a loss as to where it's even coming from.
aescleal@650-G2:~/Desktop/ec_server$ wine _Server/mysql/bin/mysqld.exe --defaults-file=mysql\\bin\\my.cnf --standalone --console
Could not open required defaults file: Z:\home\aescleal\Desktop\ec_server\mysql\bin\my.cnf
Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted
aescleal@650-G2:~/Desktop/ec_server$
The Primary server runs from the original directory and with the exact same instructions... and loads perfectly.
This backup copy wants to point to a directory structure that doesn't exist (never has). Even if I copy it to another computer and execute it there, exact same error.
Any ideas?
I'll add that the proper directory structure does in fact exist in Wine and is labeled Z: with a Target Folder of /
Who's a Linux guy? (I'm pretty newb but love the learning curve)

Okay, I created a sym link to the mysql folder in the ec_server folder (theory: so it finds my.cnf in the expected location), and it starts.
But why would it even ask for it there? Considering the original copy does not do this...
